A U.S. Congressional panel will ask technology companies in a hearing Thursday whether they’re prepared for possible interference in the 2020 elections.
The House Intelligence Committee will hear from senior officials at Facebook Inc., Twitter Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google, the panel said. They will get an update on any progress the companies have made in identifying state-coordinated misinformation campaigns of the type Russia ran in the lead up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election. They’ll also be asked to disclose any foreign efforts to manipulate U.S. conversation about coronavirus and the murder of George Floyd.
